Mi Xun 8-course vegetarian tasting in Chengdu

On May 20, an X user identified as Mime Osen posted about an eight-course vegetarian tasting at Mi Xun Teahouse in Chengdu, calling the meal “a journey of the senses.” The post linked the experience to Mi Xun in Chengdu and said the diner encountered flavors they had not tried before. The social post is one of a recent stream of firsthand restaurant notes circulating online around Michelin-listed dining rooms. In this case, the restaurant it named is a confirmed Michelin-starred vegetarian address in Chengdu. ### Which restaurant was the diner talking about? Mi Xun Teahouse is listed by Michelin at Upper House, 81 Bitieshi Street, Jinjiang, Chengdu, with one star in the 2026 Michelin Guide Chengdu. Michelin describes it as a vegetarian restaurant next to Daci Temple, with a courtyard setting and an open kitchen. Upper House Chengdu identifies the same venue as Mi Xun Teahouse and says it serves vegetarian Sichuan cuisine and traditional Chinese teas. The hotel site says the restaurant is inspired in part by dishes served at the nearby Daci Monastery. ### What does Michelin say Mi Xun actually serves? Michelin says Mi Xun uses “hand-picked local produce” to create vegetarian dishes including vegan mapo tofu with chanterelles. (guide.michelin.com) The guide also says the restaurant offers a set menu built around ingredients such as Mianyang porcini and Ya’an radish. Steven Tang, quoted on Michelin’s listing, said the menu follows a “farm-to-table” theme and is meant to show seasonal ingredients through vegetarian dishes while incorporating local wines and teas. (upperhouse.com) Michelin also quotes Tang as saying the restaurant supports local tea gardens, wineries and agriculture, including tenant farmers near giant panda habitat. (guide.michelin.com) ### Was the Michelin status in the post accurate? Michelin’s Chengdu listing identifies Mi Xun Teahouse as “One Star: High quality cooking.” That confirms the core claim in the social post that the restaurant holds one Michelin star. Upper House Chengdu says Mi Xun has retained its one Michelin star and also earned Chengdu’s first Michelin Green Star for its sustainability-focused operations. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin’s main restaurant page viewed for this report shows the one-star designation; the Green Star mention appears on the hotel’s own description of the restaurant. ### How much of the post can be independently checked? (guide.michelin.com) The May 20 X post can be verified as a cited social-media item in the source briefing, including the date, account name and post ID. The platform page itself did not render text through web access used for this report, so the diner’s quoted description and any claimed price are attributable to the social briefing rather than directly extracted from the live page. (upperhouse.com) The restaurant details, location and Michelin status, however, are independently confirmed through Michelin and Upper House Chengdu. Those sources establish that Mi Xun is a vegetarian fine-dining restaurant in Chengdu with a Michelin-recognized set-menu format that aligns with the diner’s description of a multi-course meal. ### If someone wanted to go, what are the concrete details? (x.com) Upper House Chengdu lists Mi Xun Teahouse at 81 Bitieshi Street in Jinjiang District and says it serves lunch from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., afternoon tea from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and dinner from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Michelin says the restaurant manages its own bookings directly. Michelin and Upper House both publish the restaurant’s phone number as +86 28 6297 4193. (guide.michelin.com) The Michelin page and the hotel site remain the clearest public sources for reservations, menu framing and current service details. (upperhouse.com)
